For the first time in 26 years, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has won an Emmy in "Special Event Coverage (other than news or sports) — Live or Edited" at the 2013 Rocky Mountain Emmys on Oct. 19.
The Emmy was given to choir director Mack Wilberg and six BYU broadcasting executives for their TV broadcast of "The Mormon Tabernacle Choir Presents the Joy of Song," with crossover artist Katherine Jenkins.
"It's a wonderful pleasure for us to get another Emmy," choir general manager Scott Barrick told the Deseret News.
The choir won its first Emmy in 1987 for a Christmas special featuring opera singer Shirley Verrett.
